Overview

Unfortunately, we have been forced to make a late change of venue for the Christmas Walk and Lunch.  We are no longer able to visit the Vine – but have managed to find what we are sure will be a suitable alternative location for both the walk and the lunch: the Queens College Arms on the A340 to Basingstoke RG26 5QR.

We are proposing a walk of approx. 5 miles from the pub leaving at 10:00am to Pamber Forest, via Little London, Bramley and back to the pub for lunch at 1:15pm.  

For those wishing to partake of lunch, we will need to pre-order, (Please refer to the email sent out by Robin Cugston 28/11/24, which includes a menu and booking form).  Please note that this is a few pounds more expensive at £28 for 2 courses or £33 for 3 courses.   A deposit of £5 per person is also required.  If you have already paid the deposit for the Vine walk, the whole amount will be transferred to the QCA as a deposit and there is no need to send a further £5.

If you would like to join this revised walk / walk and lunch / lunch only or if you have already signed up for the original lunch, please complete the new booking to confirm your booking, please email chairman@wberksramblers.org.uk

Please indicate in your email if you would like to join the walk and meal, only the walk, or only the meal.
